My experience was that for casualty actuaries, they were looking for people who were smooth with sales skills, because a big part of the job was discussions with state insurance departments.

I had a bad experience with it, and might have fit in better as a life / health actuary.

In any case, it requires a certain personality type, and that might have been part of Sklansky's issue with it.

How much of the proceeds will be donated to charities that provide mental health and suicide prevention services?

We intend to price this book so that the profit will be very small.

Also, I feel that donating to charities should be a personal decision and not something the company will be doing. So, for example, if I make money, or any other author makes money, it's his to do with it what he wants.

Based on Mason's response, I guess, presumably, the question should be the following:

"Then how much of the proceeds will you, personally, commit to donate to charities that provide mental health and suicide prevention services?"

With all of that said.... was this you below or is there another TheBigEasy that posts on here, lol?

Typical libtard twofaced jackass. On his high horse over Brandi yet goes around telling others to kill themselves and they’d be better off dead.

I also assume TheBigEasy was not aware of our foundation where my wife and I gave away aproximately $300,000 (of our own money). We ended the foundation a few years ago when I went into semi-retirement.

Isn't this every poker book published, regardless of price, since 2011?

If you think in terms of profit per book sold the answer is no. If you think in terms of total sales, then the results are way down.

I bet people laugh at you a lot.

You must be a disgruntled old broke gambler if that’s how you’d bet.

Weird to say "Typical libtard". Incredibly weird. You shouldn't think things like that, it's mental poison. That says a lot more about *you* than it does about "typical" people of any kind.

in fairness iirc that poster has been banned a bunch for telling people to kill themselves and that's not their first account either so the irony is pretty rich

Nope. Just going off of your silly labels.

Again, thanks for the laughs.

Jimmy Savile raised millions
He also was an incredibly terrible human being

To quote Louis Theroux in his documentary Savile Revisited:
"Even people who do evil things do nice things from time to time. It doesn't make them good people."

Excusing behaviour (even that of others) by stating you were also generous at times isnt the +EV strat you might think it is.

I have to agree with this as well as Jim's take, and not in the political sense at all. I am about as down the middle, registered independent, as you can get. Don't tell people to be better when you yourself are not being better. Using misguided, insensitive and degrading words like 'libtard' definitely says more about you and how approach people with different views than yours. As you poorly attempted to say, be better.

Your point is way off. First, if we were trying to cover for David, none of this stuff would have stayed up on this site. Second, you have no knowledge of my private conversations with David.

I keep reading over and over how I covered for David for years. The fact is, I never covered anything. That's how you know about all the stuff that you object to.

You honestly think 2+2 is the only place where Davids actions are discussed or revealed?
I certainly dont know "all the stuff that I object to" because of this forum, there are numerous other sources. In fact, those other sources are the majority.

Second, a partial cover-up is still a cover-up. Yes, some stuff stayed on this site but I know for a fact that a good bit got redacted and deleted as well.
But perhaps we have different a different threshold for something being covered up. That said, if you (like you say) keep reading you covered for David for years I could argue your definition of when something is covered up isnt as widely shared as you'd like it to be.

RGP back up

From TIME.com 7/1/09:

You need to understand that at our peak we had over 100 moderators on this site. So, it's possible that some posts were deleted which I wouldn't do.

Also, and this is important, I spent a couple of years working in statistical quality control for the U.S, Census Bureau. And in this type of work, it's highly important that the quality control function be completely independent of the production function.

Thus, when it came to moderation on this site, my role would come under the "production" heading, and things like deleting posts would come under "quality control." Since I strongly believed in keeping things statistically pure, this meant that I had as little to do with moderation as possible. And this is also, in my opinion, one of the reasons that this site was so successful.

Of course, as the majority owner of the site, there were times when I had to make the final decision. But in general, it was very rare for me to delete a post or ban someone even though I would get accused of stuff like this all the time.

As usual, you need to get your facts straight before you accuse me of any sort of cover-up.

Damn, Pete got into the HOF? I missed that.

Oh, I know my facts. And I've stated facts about David as well, they got deleted.
Maybe not by you, I cant see that, but certainly by 2+2.
And since you were the head honcho that was happening under your supervision.
You cant be the top dog and not take responsibility for whats happening beneath you.

It's their site. You are here by their permission. They can delete any post of yours they want, any time, for any reason and be perfectly justified in doing so.

Can you think of many sites/companies that have hosted anywhere near as much airing of dirty laundry, vitriol and hatred aimed at the owner and the key figure DS was?

You have no understanding of how things worked. At our peak we had well over 1 million unique visitors a month. I can't look at every post.

All we could do was setup guidelines to help our voluntary moderators. So, if a post got deleted that you think should have stayed, that's not mu fault.
